Default Seat Belt options...

Well, I finally got the cage in so now I wont get kicked off the track anymore.




I ordered the bottom floor bracket/mount from midwest chassis....

So, what are my seat belting options?

Wich ones work mith stock seats? Any style better then the other? Thanks.

5 points with a y in the back I think, then you can weld a tab on the cross bar behind your seat and bolt it on. Then use the stock seat belt holes in the floor to mount the side belts.

I like the regular latch type stuff.

There is some kind of bracket behind the seat all ready. Im sure that is what its for.

I was reading on summit and they had multiple kinds. Seeing as I have never owned any of them , I dont know what style fits the best in my TA.

I do like the cam lock style so a half a turn lets all 5 points release.

If your seat belts will work for a 97 Z28 I'll trade my 4-point harness

It was installed professionally when I purchased the car. I believe I can get the name of the shop it was welded. This one seems really nicely done. But I want to get rid of it, this is slightly my daily driver.

I was under the impression bolt-in kits wouldn't pass tech? Is that CM or steel?

BTW how do you like your midwest 9", mine should be here this week.

It was still latched on... I had a backfire so it split the hood in half. The top part went flying up as you see in the pics and the bottom half is still on the car. Im guessing it happened due to the NANO regulator screwed up and the PSI went to 1400 on the N20 and maybe the timing tuner did not pull timing.

Its easy to make sure the cmalock is locked, just pull on it.

I was born in San Antonio and lived through out Texas for 29 years. So, its all good, just have to get the college package on cable to watch the games though, lol

I love my Stroud kam locks. They are simple fast and look good to me. I have a Wolfe cage too BTW. Make sure you specify that you want wrap around shoulder belt, & crotch strap, & bolt down lap belts. I ordered wrap around belts first and all the ends were wraparound style and that wont work.
